Abstract

Rastrelliger kanagurta (the Indian Mackerel) is a fish of great commercial
importance and of wide geographical distribution in the Indo-Pacific region.
The study of the biology of the mackerel has been receiving considerable
attention in this region during recent years. One of the important aspects
of such work is the study on raciation. While the skeletal characters are
of importance in such investigations, no standard description of the skeletal
system of R. kanagurta or of any allied Indian species has been available so
far for reference. It was therefore necessary to undertake a detailed study
of the skeletal system of R. kanqgurta as a preliminary to studies on raciation
in this species. The present paper deals with the osteology of the Indian
mackerel.
